THE "ANGELlCAL' ALLIANCE.
When Bishop Harris concluded Mr. Dodge said:
"Wnen coming TO one or these services yesterday
in crowded car every one got out OF the car at the
corner except one old lady She turned and in
quired or the conductor, Where all these peo-
pie going? tie answered, why, they are going TO
The Angelical Alliance up there Wasn't there
shallow OF truth in that II we have the spirit
prayed for and spoken OF by our dear brother who
has Just sat DOWN Is It not possible angels are
towering near and wondering whether we, Christ's
children are willing 10 rise 10 our opportunities
and In the grand work 10 be done for Him are WILL
ing 10 cooperate for Hln?"
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIVISION AND DIVERSITY
Rev. DIR. Washington GLADDEN., OF Columbus
Ohio, next spoke on the subject Of cooperation
DIR. GLADDEN. pointed out the difference as he
viewed It, between division and diversity. He
deprecated hturgical uniformity as a means OF
combining the churches. Nor did he seem TO favor
| what he called sentimental union-the occasional
meeting together to tell how much they loved one
another. IL was all very well 10 tell one another
that We love each other, II It Is true. The truth
was that there had been an over-issue OF verbal
| endearments viii: h had resulted In deprecia-
! increasing the wordy circulation. The rem
edy was cooperation. He spoke OF Occa-
s.onai unions for evangeistic work for the purpose
| OF holding great revival meetings In theaters or
Kinks The attempt. he said, TO evangelize a city
| by great union meetings is like an attempt 10
! warm city by big bonfire in public square. IL
! was better 10 warm the houses. The hand-to-hand
/ work OF the churches WAS the most productive A
man converted In a church was worth more than
was necessary TO recognize the equality OF the
churches. Not much harmony OF action can exist
among churches that did not recognize each others
rights. He urged frequent consultations among
churches Of yicinage, with view to combined
| work The business Of such conference
/ would be 10 ind out the needs OF the community,
| The representatives OF the different churches
4 would form q sort OF outlook committee Of the
Kingdom OF Heaven. Why should not the repre-
sentatives Of the churches thus assemble and con-
fer together? IL was reasonable 70 hope that such
| conferences would check the overprOduction OF

churches could agree TO divide up the missionary
| neids among them. II such conferences were es-
! tabltshed other good results would follow. II
might result in
| SOME ARRANGEMENT As 10 SUMNER WORK,
50 as 70 prevent the scandal In the cities due Il
the desertion OF pulpits by the pastors In the
mer. There could be some arrangement by which
the work among the poor could be carried ON dur
Ing the summer. He spoke OF the need Of thu
church coming nearer the working people. There
was no radical cure for our social disorders but
Christianity. The masters needed It as much a:
the men, They were still able TO reach the masters
VINO are slipping away from them. Many workinl
people thought that the machinery OF church AMI
state was In the hands OF the rich There was
discomfort out OF which grew anarchy.
THE HEROIC TREATMENT OF OVERT ANARCHY
was the night treatment The law could do q,
other thing than throttle those who ATTEMPTED &
throttle the law. But the conditions out OF which
anarchy sprang could not be cured by the hang
man. Hanging was q dangerous thing unless
was followed by an earnest, sincere effort TO re
sary. The complaints OF the workingmen, he said
were often unreasonable, but they must be greetet
with reason and love. The church must nut ftsel
into sympathetac relations with the toaitng masses
